History

For more than a century we have been in the business of creating and marketing products that commemorate achievement and personal pride. Formed in 1996 by the merger of ArtCarved and Balfour and consisting of three operating units — Commemorative Brands Inc. (CBI), Taylor Publishing Inc. and Education Communications Inc. (ECI) — American Achievement Corporation provides a full complement of recognition and achievement products through both in-school and retail distribution. With core brands that are household names and a number of private labels sold through mass merchandisers, we blanket the market with products that forever mark life’s special moments.
